Mohsen Arasti was a 46-year-old resident of Qazvin known for his active lifestyle and professional success. A skilled mountaineer and trial motorcyclist, he also served his community as a business owner, managing several dairy workshops and retail stores in his hometown. On January 8, 2026, during the national protests, Mohsen was killed while attempting to assist fellow demonstrators. After lighting a cardboard box to help neutralize the effects of tear gas and allow people to disperse, he was targeted by a sniper. Witnesses reported seeing a green laser sighted on him just before he was shot directly in the head. Following his death, authorities placed significant restrictions on his family. His body was only released after they were forced to pledge that they would not hold a public funeral ceremony or publish an obituary for him.

محسن آراستی، ۴۶ ساله و ساکن قزوین، مردی فعال و کارآفرین بود. او که کوهنوردی توانا و موتورسوار تریال بود، در زادگاهش مدیریت چندین کارگاه و فروشگاه لبنیات را بر عهده داشت و از این طریق به جامعه خود خدمت می‌کرد. در تاریخ ۱۸ دی ۱۴۰۴، در جریان اعتراضات سراسری، محسن در حالی که تلاش می‌کرد به معترضان دیگر کمک کند، جان خود را از دست داد. او برای خنثی کردن اثر گاز اشک‌آور و کمک به پراکنده شدن مردم، کارتنی را آتش زد. در همان لحظه، هدف تک‌تیرانداز قرار گرفت؛ گزارش‌ها حاکی از آن است که پس از انداخته شدن لیزر سبز روی او، با شلیک مستقیم به سرش کشته شد. پس از جان باختن او، نهادهای امنیتی محدودیت‌های شدیدی را بر خانواده‌اش اعمال کردند. پیکر او تنها زمانی به خانواده تحویل داده شد که آن‌ها مجبور شدند تعهد بدهند هیچ‌گونه مراسم تشییع عمومی برگزار نکرده و از انتشار آگهی ترحیم خودداری کنند.
